Is commercial pilot training too expensive?

Hello Stuti, Your CPL costs can be roughly divided into 6 areas assuming you do it all in India: 1. Cost of flying (Including single and multi-engine rating). 2. Cost of ground studies and examinations. 3. Cost of auxiliary documents like: medicals and RTR (A) license. 4. Cost of living. 5. Cost of renewing your instrument rating (recurrent every 1 year). 6. Cost of type rating (The most important, and often ignored cost). I. Cost of flying: Approximately – Rs.20.5 lakhs to Rs.22 lakhs. II. Cost of ground studies and examinations: Approximately Rs.1.5 lakhs to Rs.2.25 lakhs. III. Cost of medicals / RTR examination: Rs.6000 to Rs.12,000 for documentation and Rs.15,000 to Rs.40,000 for ground studies. IV. Cost of living: Variable V. Cost of renewing your Instrument rating: Rs.50,000 to Rs.90,000. VI. Cost of type rating: Rs.15,00,000 to Rs.30,00,000. All the best.
